OUR VINTAGE ’67 FENDER VIBROLUX, NOW IN YOUR LINE 6 HARDWARE

For these patches, we tone-matched the stock HX amp models to our1967 Fender Vibrolux amplifier. The result is a set of Impulse Responses that completely transform the HX amp models, making the Line 6 hardware sound exactly like our amp, and the microphones, preamps, and EQ chains that we use to record it.

The Vibrolux is an iconic amplifier in Fender’s history. Ours is a ‘black panel’ Vibrolux from 1967. It’s a 2×10 combo with vintage Oxford speakers. At 40 watts, the Vibrolux excels at glassy Fender cleans, but it sounds fantastic turned up and overdriven. To our ears, the Vibrolux has more mids than a Deluxe, and it sounds especially good when overdriven. It stays tight and refined when pushed, either by turning the amp up or when using drive pedals.
